Meteors peak Sunday night into Monday morning
The Island's dark skies should provide a great viewing platform to catch a metoer shower this weekend, more visible in the current clear conditions.
The Quadrantid shower is to peak this evening, into tomorrow morning (3/4 January).
They're an annual appearance, and this year followed a Grand Conjunction over Christmas - where Jupiter and Saturn passed by each other, the closest in a generation.
Howard Parkin of AstroManx says they're often overlooked:
Sailings altered as 'ongoing dredging issues' lead to 'insufficient water depths in Douglas port'
Manx Care asks all GPs to formally adopt Jess's Rule
Government 'taking rising fuel prices seriously'
Motion to sell Old Castletown Police Station to be put before Tynwald
